This article aims to examine how urbanisation in Nusantara has been a
project to impose modernity on the people, articulated through urban
discipline and urban policy. Using an exploratory study, we interviewed
individuals from Indigenous communities, conducted a focus group
discussion, and analysed webinars and technical documents related to
Nusantara through content analysis and a desk study. Our findings
reveal that the development of Nusantara was motivated by the desire
to improve the region through two discourses: sustainability and
techno-urbanism, stemming from global environmental and digital
disruption discourses. These discourses are then exercised as the basis
of modernity efforts introduced to the Indigenous community of the
Paser-Balik people. These efforts include spatial planning, land and
forest management, job creation, and digital bureaucracy, which aim to
reassemble the people as modern subjects. In response to these efforts,
the communities made Adat-based land claims and leveraged their
identity to express their ontology. The responses from local and
Indigenous communities are a form of political ontology to assert their
power through imaginative instruments. Such imaginative powers must
be incorporated into urban policy to achieve inclusivity in Nusantara
development.
